Shoots easy, cleans up even easier. Just waiting for the top coat to arrive and I'll throw the interior back in, then I can drive over to a friends house and hit the under side of the car to really seal in the flavor.
Sound Control, 2 coats. Masked the door holes from the outside, take the time and mask em from the inside. Even though nobody will ever see it, you'll feel better.
Don't forget the roof and A-pillars, they echo as much as any other metal will.
2 coats of Thermal Insulation on top of the Sound Control. Slightly darker.
Masked off from the insode if the door, mainly by filling the door cavity with thin plastic sheeting and taping it to the door to prevent the product from leaking onto window mechs.

I knew I would have to squeeze in a run this morning. I haven't ran since Tuesday morning and even though the sheets were so warm and my bed was practically screaming for me to stay there, as I shuffled out onto the hardwood floors I knew I wouldn't regret it. Morning runs are by far the hardest for me. I love sleeping in and I love being warm and snuggly in my bed. I just got new sheets to and there is nothing better than crispy sheets!
So last night, when I fell asleep it was raining. I was worried it would still be raining when I woke up, but to my excitement it wasn't and I laced up my shoes and got ready. Nice how the biggest decision in my life this morning was whether to wear capris or shorts and a long sleeve or a short sleeve. I opted for one of my fave long sleeves and as I strapped on Claude and my iPod, I had one of those moments where everything seemed like it was clicking together and I would have on of those glorious runs, where it seems like you can run forever and your legs will never get tired.
As I stepped outside the clean rain washed air welcomed me and I started off on the familiar five mile path I travel around through town. There's something about damp concrete that has just been washed from the rain. Everything is so clean and fresh and overwhelming. While I was running I just felt like everything was working together. It's those runs that happen rarely, but when they do it's like finding a lost diamond ring. They renew everything and remind me why I do run.
Yesterday someone asked me what I do for fun. I responded with, "Running." It's true. I enjoy and love to run. I do run for fun.

|Badnarik campaigning in July 2004.
Michael J. Badnarik, the Libertarian Party nominee for President of the United States in the 2004 elections and a former software engineer and radio talk show host has suffered a heart attack. Badnarik is also the president of the 2009 Continental Congress.
Badnarik was in Madison, Wisconsin, attending a hearing regarding a raw milk case when he collapsed, according to Gary Franchi, the National Director of Restore the Republic. "After the hearing he got in a car to go to lunch with friends, He then slumped over. His friends attempted CPR and contacted the paramedics. They attempted to revive him 3 times with no success. Upon the 4th attempt his heart was revived yet with erratic behavior," writes Franchi in an email.
Michael was taken to a local hospital in Wisconsin and fitted with a temporary pacemaker and a balloon pump to ease stress on his heart. He remains in an unconscious state and his condition is listed as serious.
Alex Jones: Our Prayers Go Out to Michael for His Full Recovery
In November 2009, Badnarik was elected as one of three delegates from the State of Texas to attend the 2009 Continental Congress sponsored by the We The People Foundation, and subsequently elected parliamentary president of that body.
In October 2008, he began hosting a talk radio program, Lighting the Fires of Liberty, on the Genesis Communications Network.

|What is the rhythm, and what the etiology?
His charts showed he had presented to a clinic 2 months prior with chest pain and had an identical ECG which was read as "no change from old". The ECG prior to that one, however, did not have bradycardia (so there really was a change from old). The patient had been sent home from clinic.
Rhythm analysis: there is a regular rhythm with a QRS that is borderline prolonged at 110 ms (QRS on the previous truly normal ECG was 105 ms). Are there p-waves? Yes, but they are after the QRS, and they are inverted. And the R-P interval is very prolonged at about 440 ms. So there is either sinus arrest or severe sinus bradycardia (such that the junction or bundle of HIS escapes before the sinus node can fire). There is atrial activity (the p-wave); it is inverted because it is being activated from below.
Diagnosis: Sinus arrest or extreme bradycardia with junctional escape and retrograde p-waves with prolonged VA conduction.
One might also say there is a severe 1st degree AV block because of the long R-P (not P-R) interval, but our electrophysiologist, Rehan Karim, states that:
"One cannot infer that VA conduction tells you what AV conduction would be. It is well known that patients who have complete AV block may have intact VA conduction. That is, a ventricular beat gives rise to retrograde p waves, but the P-waves or atrial pacing does not conduct to the ventricles. Same is true with adenosine: there can be few times when adenosine will affect AV conduction but may or may not affect VA conduction."
What are the common causes:
1. hyperkalemia
2. Ischemia (no evidence of ischemia on this ECG)
3. Drugs (he was not on any that woul do this): digitalis, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, Na channel modulators
4. Sick sinus
5. Increased vagal tone, but this would also slow the escape.
5. Variety of other less common etiologies, such as Lyme, infiltrative diseases
Atropine 1 mg was given without change. Potassium returned at 6.2 mEq/L. 3g of Calcium gluconate were given and the rate immediately went to 60. Here is the subsequent ECG:
|Sinus rhythm with a PR interval of approximately 200 ms. The QRS is acttually slightly longer, at 113 ms.
The patient ruled out for MI by serial troponins.
When a patient has bradycardia, always think of hyperkalemia among other etiologies.

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Stunned by Gulf Council Snapper Vote
OutdoorHub 02.10.13
In a stunning move today, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council voted to recommend an emergency rule that could shorten the recreational red snapper fishing season in federal waters off the Texas coast to as little as 11 days from the planned 27 day season.
The recommendation passed by a narrow majority, over strong opposition by representatives from Texas and Louisiana, including the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, and a representative from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
As recommended, the rule would give the National Marine Fisheries Service southeast regional administrator authority to shorten the snapper season in federal Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) waters off Texas. State waters extend from the coast out to nine nautical miles.
"We are simply outraged by this move to penalize Texas anglers, local economies and fisheries for simply exercising our regulatory authority in Texas waters," said T. Dan Friedkin of Houston, Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission chairman. "This is not a recipe for a successful collaborative approach to fisheries management. I do not intend to stand idly by while Texas anglers are penalized by such egregious federal overreach."
TPWD leaders noted the unusual circumstances surrounding the emergency rule recommendation. This included how a vote for the rule failed 9 to 8 this morning, but backers of the rule persisted with a second vote after lunch, when the measure finally passed 10 to 7.
"This recommendation is clearly directed at Texas and it strikes me as more punitive and political, rather than biological, because state regulations in Texas waters have not mirrored those set by the Gulf Council in recent years," said Carter Smith, TPWD executive director. "This is not a victory for red snapper, but rather a loss for Texas anglers and coastal communities."

We planted 9 trees in our garden this year from arbor day. We also bought a few older trees that are about 6 ft tall. With the winter coming, I would like to know if anyone has any tips for preparing them for the cold winter. I'm especially worried about the foot tall trees we got from arbor day in the tree garden. We have mulch down on all of them, but with the leaves freezing/frosting over night now, I need to be ready to make sure they survive.
Any Suggestions?

For Whom the Bell Tolls by Hemingway: 6/12/08
|For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway
On the plus side, we had a couple of readers who just couldn't put this one down. There was admiration for Hemingway's skill at bringing us into the minds of "minor" characters like the sentries and the cavalry captain, making a powerful human connection in the middle of a war story. We marveled at the unique Spanish obscenities used by the characters. I liked Jordan's reflections on the idealists on the ground and the Russian-trained realists running the war from a hotel in Madrid.
On the other hand, at least 6 of our 17 readers couldn't bring themselves to finish the book, finding it too ponderous. Even the people who enjoyed the book found themselves exclaiming half-way through the book, "Blow up the un-nameable bridge already! I obscenity in the milk of this bridge!"
We thought a good editor could have made this a much better story. CD pointed out that Hemingway was in Spain in the late 30's and the book was published in 1940, so it was put out very quickly. It would have benefited from a few more drafts.
One reader questioned the speed with which Maria seemed to recover from her trauma and be able to respond to Jordan's attentions. Another was skeptical of the engineering involved in the demolition of the bridge – when it was finally described. TL thought Pablo was a lot like Manny Ramirez. The Spanish/English hybrid language was not a success for most readers in our group.
JS was a big Hemingway fan in her youth. After this recent reading, her feelings about it were similar to those she might feel upon running into an old boyfriend after many years, finding it impossible to remember what was so fascinating about him before.
Several readers encouraged the disenchanted not to give up on this author until reading A Farewell to Arms, a much shorter and more successful Hemingway novel.

This beautiful image [hi-res available here] was recently recognized by National Geographic as one of the best photographs of 2011. Two of the magazine's photo editors appreciated it for its cryptic quality. Is the subject of this photograph a sprouting fungus? A microscopic photo of a leaf? A snowy landscape?
For me, this image immediately called to mind the tree featured in the first installment of the Sagan Series (bonus points to anyone who can remind me what that tree is called.)
But it's actually an aerial photograph of desiccated rivers in Baja California, Mexico. The shot is just one stunning example from a series captured by photographer and Adriana Franco and submitted to NG's photocommunity, My Shot, back in December — one that is definitely worth checking out.

Chicken and herb dumplings, Bisquick-style
I know I've posted about chicken and dumplings before (twice), but this time I was lazy. I used Bisquick! You guys have heard about gluten-free Bisquick I'm sure. I've heard mixed reviews, but it worked out fine for dumplings here. If you don't want to spend the $4.99 for the tiny box of Bisquick, just go ahead and make biscuits from scratch - it's only a few extra steps.
This recipe is super adaptable, use whatever vegetables you have on hand, and your biscuit recipe or Bisquick. If you add extra liquid, this turns almost into a soup. If you have the kind of husband who likes soup things, he'll really like this.
Chicken and herb dumplings, Bisquick-style
1 lb boneless chicken, cubed (I used thighs)
1 T olive oil
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic
1 stalk celery, diced
1 c diced mushrooms
3/4 to 1 c chicken stock
2-3 T cornstarch
1/3 c water
salt and pepper
3/4 t paprika
3/4 c frozen peas
Heat up the olive oil in a Dutch oven. Cook the chicken over medium heat until browned. Remove the chicken from the pan, then add all the vegetables except the peas. Cook until starting to soften, then add the chicken back to the pot, and add the chicken stock, bring to a simmer. Make a slurry from the cornstarch and water and stir in until thickened. If it isn't thick enough, make another slurry and stir in a bit at a time, until thickened to your liking. Stir in salt and pepper to taste, paprika, and frozen peas. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer (medium-low).
Herbed dumplings
1 c Bisquick (or you could probably use flour mix + 1/2 t xanthan gum + 1/2 t baking soda + a pinch of salt)
1 t dried parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder
1/2 t paprika and thyme
3 T cold butter
1/3 c milk
1 egg
Combine the Bisquick and butter, smashing the butter with a fork until none of the pieces are much bigger than a pea. Add the spices, herbs, milk and egg, and stir until moistened. Add a little more milk if you need to.
Flour your hands and roll small balls (about the size of a golf ball) out of the dough. Drop them carefully on top of the simmering chicken and gravy, trying to space them as evenly as you can. Cover tightly and go wash some dishes or something for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, check the dumplings. if you can stick a knife through without too much resistance, they're done. Serve!
**Disclaimer: I got the Bisquick for free, was not paid for this post or anything.

Why didn't I think of this when I had that box of bisquik in my fridge?? My mom used to make bisquik dumplings and I loved them! I've tried to make them GF before, and liked, but not loved them. Now I'm going to have to head to the store for another box of bisquik! Thanks for sharing this recipe!!ReplyDelete
I did not know about gluten-free Bisquick! That is awesome!!ReplyDelete
wow, that is so cool. Where did you find gluten free Bisquick? The soup looks so good!ReplyDelete
Lizzy - I've seen it at my local grocery store, it's pretty new so it's not out everywhere yet!ReplyDelete
i made this last night & have decided it is my new favorite meal. it was sooo good.ReplyDelete
thanks for the recipe!

For race use only. Not admitted in the area of the German StVZO!
A fully hydraulic front disc brake is one of the most finest and effective upgrades available for drum braked Vespa models. The exact braking point, combined with an enormous transfer of power, can stop any Vespa (safely) in its tracks! With the inclusion of a brake master cylinder on the steering assembly and a suitable brake hose the semi-hydraulic GRIMECA front disc brake can be converted to a more effective fully-hydraulic system.The steering assembly on some models will require modification to enable the fitting of a suitable brake pump bracket.
The handlebar tube mounting bracket available from SCOOTRS nicely integrates the brake master cylinder with a tube fitting such as the GRIMECA Ø 11mm. The steering assembly will still require slight modification but no welding is necessary. These items are constructed using die-cast aluminium. The MMW version allows the brake master cylinder of the Vespa '98/MY/'11 - formerly produced by GRIMECA, now by HENGTONG – to be retro-fitted to numerous drum braked Vespa models. Their product is made of stainless steel and is relatively easy to mount.
The SERIE PRO version is produced by MAMO from mdemphasis in Vincenza, Italy. He has developed a stainless steel bracket that can be mounted to the steering assembly without any modification necessary before fitting. To enable an ideal power delivery, combined with an elegant appearance, a suitable handlebar lever is included with this conversion kit.
This aluminium brake-pump holder from the SERIE PRO range cannot, unlike other versions, be bolted to the steering assembly. This type requires the original brake lever attachments to be removed to enable this component to be firmly welded in place. We recommend that the steering assembly first be repainted following the welding!
SIP-TIP : Do not forget to order a suitable brake master cylinder such as the one produced by GRIMECA (#30060000), or the type fitted to the Vespa PX '98 (#56378800). A new brake hose and the suitable hydraulic fluid round the job off perfectly!

'Butterfly' impact crater in Hesperia Planum
These images, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA's Mars Express spacecraft, show a large elliptical impact crater in the Hesperia Planum region of Mars.
The HRSC obtained these images during orbit 368 with a ground resolution of approximately 16.7 metres per pixel. The scenes show the region of Hesperia Planum, at approximately 35.3° South and 118.7° East.
A large elliptical impact crater is visible within the scene, measuring approximately 24.4 km long, 11.2 km wide and reaching a maximum depth of approximately 650 metres below the surrounding plains.
Ejecta from this impact can be seen extending away from the crater, including two prominent lobes of material north-west and south-east of the crater.
The large circular feature, partly cut off by the border of the image, has a diameter of roughly 45 km.
This appears to be an impact crater that was subsequently resurfaced by lava flows, preserving the outline of the underlying crater. The curving features visible in the north of the image, known as 'wrinkle ridges', are caused by compressional tectonics.
While the majority of impact craters are relatively circular, the elliptical shape of this impact crater suggests a very low impact angle (less than 10 degrees).
The long axis of the impact crater is viewed as the impacting direction of the projectile. Similar elliptical craters are observed elsewhere on Mars, as well as on our Moon.
The colour scenes have been derived from the three HRSC-colour channels and the nadir channel. The perspective views have been calculated from the digital terrain model derived from the stereo channels.
The 3D anaglyph image was calculated from the nadir and one stereo channel. Image resolution has been decreased for use on the internet.
For more information on Mars Express HRSC images, you might like to read our updated 'Frequently Asked Questions'.

James Stewart has been through the roller coaster of ups and downs, but this was a new one: he hurt his knee in practice at the opener (just after setting the fastest lap of the afternoon) and put his whole season in doubt before the season had actually began.
His Yoshimura Suzuki Team Manager Mike Webb explained that James simply dabbed his foot coming out of the turn that cuts across the start straight, the same thing you could do 1000 times and not get hurt, but this one particular dab did it. That's how knee injuries usually go. From there, Stewart's status for the night was up in the air, and if he missed the race, his championship hopes would already be pretty much finished. Sure, he came from a DNF at A1 to win the title in 2009, but having to overcome a points deficit and a knee injury at the same time is a different story.
So he had to try, and he did. He even got a start in his heat race and rode decent for a few laps before eventually dropping back to third. In the main, he gutted it out again, riding well within himself for a steady eighth-place finish.
Stewart may have salvaged his season at Anaheim with an 8th place finish.
Simon Cudby photo
"It wasn't even a matter of James being able to suck it up and deal with the pain," said Webb. "He's tough. He can ride through pain and injury, he's done it before. It's more a matter of, is it just going too get so bad that we need to just call it a year, get it fixed and come back for outdoors?"
An MRI will tell that story soon. But assuming Stewart is able to stay in this Monster Energy Supercross Championship, his eighth-place finish will loom large. Before the race, it looked like Stewart could have missed the race and scored zero points. Instead, he leaves a few points ahead of defending champion Ryan Villopoto, and not that far back of rivals like Chad Reed and Ryan Dungey. It was the definition of a salvage ride.
Stewart is known as Mr. Win or Crash, but this time he scored something well between that with an eighth. But that eighth could be as critical as any finish he's ever had.
Honorable Mention: In the 250SX Class, Zach Osborne looked good all day on his GEICO Honda, qualifying third. But he got jacked at the start in the main and entered turn one in last place. A few riders were down early, allowing him to pick up a few spots, but from there it was just a head-down charge through the pack to score as many points as possible. He got to seventh, more than enough to keep him in the hunt heading into round two.

Another member of 'N Sync is saying bye, bye, bye to the single life!
Less than a week after Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel tied the knot in Italy, his former bandmate Chris Kirkpatrick tells People that he and his girlfriend got engaged while on a pre-planned trip to the same country.
Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel get married
Kirkpatrick, 41, and his girlfriend, marketing rep Karly Skladany, have been dating for two-and-a-half-years and were in Italy to celebrate his birthday. The singer hadn't originally planned on proposing there. "We had a hotel room at the Isle of Capri, overlooking the Mediterranean," he told the magazine. "It was one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. And it hit me: I wanted to propose to Karly. So I ran to a jewelry store, found the perfect ring and bought it."
After getting permission from Skladany's dad, he popped the question that night. "We were sitting on the balcony with a bottle of champagne and I put the ring in her glass," Kirkpatrick said. "I know it sounds cheesy, but it was romantic. As soon as I asked her, she said, 'It's about time!' And we laughed. It was spur of the moment, but it was absolutely perfect." Kirkpatrick and Skladany, 28, have not yet set a date.
This week, several news outlets reported that Kirkpatrick and the rest of 'N Sync did not receive invites to Timberlake's Italian nuptials. "He didn't want the wedding to be an 'N Sync reunion, and I totally understand that," Kirkpatrick told People. "I already had plans to be in Italy anyway. It was just a coincidence that I was there when Justin got married. There's really nothing negative about any of it."

Golden Horseshoe Trail reconstruction and road closure projects within the Swan River priority watershed
The DiIlon Ranger District of the White River National Forest is inviting public comment as part of an environmental analysis process which will evaluate the anticipated effects from proposed reconstruction and designation of several trails, in addition to closure and rehabilitation of several roads in the area known as the Golden Horseshoe and in the Swan River drainage.
"The Swan River watershed was selected as one of four priority watersheds in the White River National Forest," said Corey Lewellen, Dillon District fisheries biologist.
Selecting this priority watershed will achieve collaboration with the multiple resources that the White River National Forest is responsible for managing.
The overarching goal is to achieve significant landscape benefits to the entire watershed.

2012 Jolt Awards: Mobile Tools, October 30, 2012 The best mobile development tools
Productivity Award: Appcelerator Titanium Studio
The Appcelerator Titanium Studio IDE builds on the well-regarded Aptana Studio, which Appcelerator acquired last year. Although it's another Eclipse-based IDE for developing mobile applications using native tools, Titanium Studio provides integrated tool chains for Android and iOS application development that span from project management through to distribution packaging (including deployment to well-known cloud services and app stores).
The free version of the product includes extensive support through the Titanium Studio Dashboard — a truly useful addition for newbies. The mobile emulator works better than the other products that I've examined. Titanium Studio also includes a base level of cloud services with the free package. To add security, enterprise extensions and more responsive support, developers must upgrade to one of three paid packages. Titanium Studio provides all the usual Eclipse functionality and it supports multiple languages including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Ruby, Python, and PHP.
As a new mobile and JavaScript developer, I found the ability to use the Titanium SDK to develop for Android, iOS, and Mobile Web compelling and the preloaded code snippets helped me come up to speed very quickly.
Titanium Studio does useful things in the background, such as coordinating the authentication keys between your cloud application setup and the application manifest. Managing similar authentication setups in other solutions is a pain for most developers.
I had little difficulty with the IDE installing Android applications in the emulator and on physical devices, although the emulator and the IDE did seem to get out of synch on occasion. One feature that is missing is a visual editor for developing views. The edit, build, and deploy cycle necessary to check the visuals can become tedious, making IDE/emulator synchronization a bigger potential issue but not a deal breaker.
As a Visual Studio veteran with little experience using Eclipse in the mobile space, I found that the Titanium Studio's tool integration and completeness helped me feel comfortable quickly. If you're looking for a mobile development platform to start and grow with, Titanium is worthy of serious consideration.

With their debut album, these "mod ragamuffins" RS from New York City "mixed Velvet Underground grime and skinny-tie New Wave jangle" RS with "late-'70s New York punk;" AMG in essence, they combined "all the trademarks of pre-1977 rock" EW or "pre-alternative alternative music." EW The music was "sometimes acidic, always full of great melody," RS and marked by "off-kilter guitar solos," EW "primitive tom-tom rhythms (shades of the Velvets' Moe Tucker)," EW and "an insistently chugging backbeat." AMG It was all accompanied by "attitude-heavy slurring (by singer Julian Casablancas)" EW and his "raw, world-weary" AMG and "half-buried vocals (à la 'Louie, Louie')." EW
The Strokes intentionally sought out "the raw, muddy sonics of garage-band 45s." EW Casablancas said they wanted to sound like "a band from the past that took a time trip into the future to make their record." WK However, "the Strokes don't rehash the sounds that inspire them," AMG namely Television, the Stooges, and aforementioned Velvets, but "remake them in their own image." AMG The subject matter behind their songs "reflected their own early-twenties lust for life." AMG and made "the timeworn themes of sex, drugs, and rock & roll and the basic guitars-drum-bass lineup seem new and vital again." AMG
On one hand, the Strokes became "the most hyped band [in the UK] since Oasis in the mid 1990s;" TB the New Musical Express "placed the Strokes at the head of its 'new rock revolution'" TB However, "haters threw whatever they had at them." SY After all, these were were guys straight out of "the exclusive Dwight School in Manhattan" TB decked out in "expensive leather and denim." SY However, the band's "daily twelve-hour practices are so blindingly evident on Is This It" SY that "the Strokes prove to be one of the few groups deserving of their glowing reviews." AMG "The record is considered crucial in the development of other alternative bands and of the post-millennial music industry." WK Rolling Stone's Joe Levy said it was "the stuff of which legends are made" WK while NME's John Robinson said "Is This It was one of the best debut LPs by a guitar band during the past 20 years." WK
Last Nite
Highlights from the album included Last Nite, a "guitar-driven song" WK with "reggae-inspired rhythm guitar lines" WK and Hard to Explain, "arguably the finest song they've written in their career." AMG

September 19, 1917 - July 24, 2013
Morris, "Brocky" Brockman was born in London, England, September 19, 1917. He served in the
Royal Air Force for 6 years during WWII.
Brocky and his wife Rene were married 71 years last January. The Brockmans decided to follow Rene's sister Fay and Ed Kushins and sister Betty and Manny Chezan to the States. On the ship over they brought son, Colin and daughter Julia, Rene's father Godfrey Schwartz and brother Ernie Haas in 1953.
Brocky worked various jobs including auctioneering at the Napa and Roseville markets with his brother-in-law Manny. They then started their own business, M & B Sales Company in 1960. Joined by their sister-in-law Carol Haas, they started one of the first catalog businesses of their time on Main Street in Stockton. In 1970 they transformed to importing antiques to their warehouse and opened it to the public. Once again, pioneers.
They changed again to antique appraisals and estate sales. Brocky retired in 1997 at the age of 80. He enjoyed the symphony, golf and tennis, exercising, swimming and socializing.
The Brockmans have been members of Temple Israel for 60 years. Loved by Rene Brockman,
son Colin and Shelli Brockman, daughter Julia and Richard Heyman, grandson Jason and Dehana Brockman. Great grandsons Davey and Avi. Granddaughter Vanessa and Paul Cantz, great grandchildren Chana and Shoshanna. Granddaughter Nancy True, and granddaughter Heidi and Robert Schubert and grandson Rocco.

Boardman On The BBC
Thursday, 19 November 2009
It's the highlight of the British mountaineering literature calendar tomorrow at the Kendal Mountain Festival, the Boardman Tasker Prize. One of the lucky shortlisted authors will be banking a cheque for £3,000. Calm and Fearless is looking forward to a free glass of cheap red wine. Meanwhile, you can either phone the Tote and put your money on your fancied tome, or watch this lecture from Peter Boardman on the BBC about his experiences climbing in Afghanistan. It's incredible to think they used to make programmes like this. Whatever happened to our attention spans? Anyway, it's included in an excellent Adam Curtis blog about Afghan history. If you want to know why Helmand is such a mess, then Curtis is your man. Just scroll down until you see the appropriate video clip. And our hot tip for this year's Boardman Tasker? Steve House for Beyond the Mountain. Just don't complain when you lose your shirt.

This just in from the governor's office…
Governor Dannel P. Malloy is asking nonessential state employees to stay home on
Friday in advance of the coming blizzard. However, evening and midnight shift
employees should report to work as normal on Friday.
The Governor also
announced that he will fully activate the state's Emergency Operations Center
(EOC) on Friday at 9:00 a.m. to continue coordinating the state's response to
the storm.
"Based on the forecasts we're looking at now, I am asking
nonessential state employees to remain at home on Friday," said Governor Malloy.
"If the worst-case scenario plays out, we will need roads clear for emergency
personnel and utility crews. But even under the best of circumstances, it
appears at this point that the best coarse of action is to keep people off the
roads. Whether you're a state employee or not, if you can stay home and off the
roads tomorrow, please do so."
In addition, following a series of
unified command meetings and municipal conference calls, the Governor will hold
two media briefings from the state EOC on Friday – the first at 12:00 p.m.,
followed by another at 6:00 p.m.

So when I was much younger. Let's give that a number. When I was 3. I would stand at the door of my uncle's house and look at the guests leave and announce to the entire house, 'PEOPLE COME GONE'. It was my simple way of saying, 'Wow that was quick' and it sounded really adorable from the mouth of a three year old me. Now, most of 2013 felt that way, especially the second half.
The first half of 2013 revealed a side of me that I have come to detest in me and in any person now. It is rather easy for me to feel that way and it is unfair to other people but then again I come from a vantage point on this and feel rather justified in my feelings. The first half was sluggish, emotionally annoying and was filled with very little optimism. The crappy part was that I had only myself to blame for this rather terrible downswing but in hindsight, it was only good because the months that followed played out like a high paced movie which married Hollywood's slickness and Bollywood's masala like never before. Well atleast that is what I tell myself.
June, saw me spending many days in front of mirrors and under showers wondering how I had allowed everything become so miserable and dreary. I used to love work but I was labouring through it now. I wasn't connecting socially, I was barely social and I was content in this emotional quicksand. The strange part now is, I am not even sure if I decided to get my act together or my act decided to get itself together, if you know what I mean. Because suddenly from 'crawl like a turtle' I went to 'fly like the wind'. The month of July took me to Mumbai, Meerut and Singapore and all of them included a personal debut. My first time compering a corporate event, my first North Indian wedding and my first time outside India. After those three weeks, I was a changed man. I just wasn't going to allow me to ruin myself and since that moment on it feels like the old 'me' had COME GONE. Poof it was over.
Now, I just needed to do everything. Everything seemed exciting, everything seemed to symbolise the end of what it meant to be me and I liked that. Do you know the feeling when you feel yourself change? You don't know if it is good for you or if you will lose the things people loved about you, but you don't stop to care? It is a very liberating feeling. I did pause to think of how it would affect me in the long run but there was just no time. I decided to run again after a failed attempt to get my mind and body in sync back in March. This time I spent a lot of time reading, researching and structuring the rest of my life around the need to be fit. The food I ate, the amount I ate, my resistance to waking up in the morning, temptation to eat junk food, all of it had to change. This wasn't going to be a half assed effort. And to infuse some seriousness into it, I threw in the small matter of a 10km run at the Wipro Chennai Marathon. I can quite easily submit that preparing for the run was one of the most satisfying two months of my life. I learned that there was another gear in me, both physically and mentally. I joined a gym, started eating untouchables like beetroot again and the discipline was actually addictive. The few days without it still make me nauseatic. Funny how the nausea of the first six months didn't push me to change it all, shows there is much to be understood about the human psyche. The 1st of December brought me a lovely overcast morning and 7000 other enthusiasts who had decided to change something about themselves. This truly was already a victory for me, to be running in the happiest place in Chennai that day. I surprised myself and many who were following and supporting me closely in the last two months by posting a rather decent time, but more than anything a part of me had changed forever when I crossed that finish line. Being a pathetic version of myself, allowing my circumstances to get the better of me and deciding not to change had all COME GONE now. I had outrun it all.
In the process of all this change I suddenly woke up with a rather weird feeling in the stomach, one morning late October. I woke up, washed my face and sat on my bed wondering what was on my mind. I had changed the way I processed the thoughts in my head. There weren't large spaces of introspection, just a quick realisation and then action. This was one of those moments. It started a chain of events that some thought was quick and rash, some saw it as well considered and some are yet to completely comprehend. In the weeks that followed that day concluding on the 18th of December, I had interviewed at a company that sells some of the funnest things in the country and hires about 60 people, I had quit my job and been offered what I can easily sum up as a dream job and I had decided to leave the city I loved to make the move across the border to Bangalore. Yes 2013 also signalled the end of my short but lovely time in Chennai with a move scheduled in mid-February. Till this day I am fascinated by the reactions I get from people when I tell them I'm moving. These reactions revolve around me leaving Chennai, the speed with which it happened and the company I am joining but what truly leaves me incredulous is at the conviction with which I concluded a thought that began that morning. It surely stemmed from a part of me that was fighting to be heard from long but the conviction surely arose from this new belief in me. Belief that has surely COME but ain't be GONE for some time now.
2013 will always remain a monumental year in my life. It involved travel, running, brilliant movies, (special mentions to Kai Po Che, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Ship of Theseus, Raanjhana and Lootera) realizing the meaning of true friendship and finding in me - a spirit. This spirit does not know what exact moment revived it but I sure do know that the resurrection has been strong, the long term impact is unknown but there is a part of me that is ready to overlook the consequences in pursuit of the result. From this have emanated some resolutions for the year, simple ones that I'm very excited about and have already begun to gently put in practice. I can rather happily report, that they are working but more on that later in the year.
But for my biggest fans however little in number you may be, my friends and family, I have completed the process of re-engineering myself (as my Whatsapp status has been declaring for rather long now) and I am in a zone of progression. I hope to see more of you this year, I hope to change perceptions everyday mostly for the better and hope to continue evolving and improving my version of myself. I can actually see 'three year old me' saying, 'Som you sure COME GONE eh'.
2014, anyone?

Yes it is a DNS problem affecting the hosting service DNS routing, I blame Ned LeMont! First, Joe Lieberman (www.joe2006.com) now puptrix.org
Basically outside of my control, and outside of my hosting services DNS control might be a electronic attack against US Jews
That IP is on my backup host, I switched it over on first notice of non-resolveable puptrix.org but at last notice puptrix.org could not be seen by RR.com customers, or Time Warner Cable and its many names. Even when it is temp. hosted on a different server group in Dallas.
It is now pointing to same server as puppylinux.net (puptrix.puppylinux.net) is available to those who can not reach normal puptrix.org
PuppyLinux.net DNS servers are based in florida, actual host is in Dallas.

Post subject: Good news double Bandwidth limit for puptrix.org
The hosting company has doubled my BW limit to 2 TeraBytes/month for no charge for puptrix.org, so those who can still see it, have fun. Actually wait until I switch it back to that hosting company first. The BW limit for puppylinux.net is quite low, 10 hours of serving Hacao burned 20% of monthly BW.

The young guy Jus407 has volunteered, I gave him FTP access, and he has popped back on the scene just today. And no, he could not have caused this problem.
I am more of a programmer type, HTLM is not my thing. BTW my muscular distropy is worsening, and need to get some people lined up to take over admin in the future. Hopefully in the distant future, but as I am down to about 3 hours of being functional per day, eating has been a chore, typing is a hardship, but my Drs say its good to have a hobby to keep my brain active, so puppy is it!

Yah, it gets me down, if I'm lucky I am in a seating or laying position, in a safe place. If not, my dog does its best to guard me if I am outside when my muscles go limp. I had a cow step on my foot a year or two ago. She got confused when was barked at by my dog (photo at left, dog not cow) My parents are having me stay with them during the long periods of general weakness and have been supportive.
Well if it gets much worse I might use the remaining funds to visit the leader in treatment based in Ulm Germany. He does the tests for free, but it takes a year for the genes to be IDed. I am sure he as already has my blood work, via my doctor since they called multiple specialists at different research labs while I was getting the blood drawn last year and had to redraw more blood to make sure it was stablized correctly for shipment overseas. So I might have more information on results later this month on my yearly visit.

Bummer. Is it erosion of the myelin sheaths? My advice would be to be very selective about what food oils you eat, and avoid any oil which has been heated, i.e. reject all baked goods and fried foods.
Scoff you may, at herbal remedies, but I was a lifelong sufferer from oral herpes sores until I read
Rosemary Gladstar's Family Herbal
. She mentions that licorice is an effective remedy. I tried Panda licorice chews and tea made from licorice root, bought in the bulk herbs section of my local health food store, and it worked. Sore-free now for three years.
She also writes: "Oats (leafy tops, stalks, and oatmeal) are an incredible herb for depression and anxiety. They slowly and surely build the myelin sheath of the nerves..." --
Rosemary Gladstar's Family Herbal
, 1st Edition, p. 69.
Michael Tierra, famous herbologist, writes: "In Ayurveda, oils like ghee (clarified butter), sesame, and olive oils are used to nourish the nerve energy..." --
The Way of Chinese Herbs
, 7th Edition, p.260.
Dr. Nirmala Kothari writes: "...for deep-frying, peanut oil (high smoking temp.), for shallow pan frying peanut oil, (for) saut�ing olive oil, and for cold salads sesame or extra virgin olive oil." --http://www.botanical.com/site/column_poudhia/52_files/flowchart_files/site/by_you/Green%20Power.htm
The oils should be organic and cold-pressed, of course.

Yes, you'll be surprised how herbal remedies can work for some symptoms.
The classic ailment of men advancing in age is urinary, and some Chinese fragrant tea effectively takes care of those symptoms. It's contained in Jason Winters tea, but when you're able to identify the smell, you will easily know if it's there in some other teas.
Just giving a hint for searching herbal remedies.

Fire officials say a deadly wildfire burning near California's dramatic Big Sur coast has destroyed 57 homes and is threatening 2,000 more — and it's causing huge plumes of smoke to settle in the South Bay.
The blaze, which has been burning for 10 days now, has torched 40,000 acres and is 18 percent contained, according to Cal Fire officials on Sunday evening.
Off Highway 101 in the South Bay, the thick smoke is causing air quality concerns.
"Obviously, it's closer so they're more impacted," said Kristine Roselius, a representative from the Bay Area Quality Management District, on the South Bay's smokey surroundings. "It's also moving the smoke east and also north, and that's why we're seeing the impacts there right now."
Some South Bay residents say the smoke is so bad it makes them feel sick.
"It's really bad. I use the attic fan at night time to let the cool air in, and it's bringing the smoke in," explained Debi Snyder. "It actually made me sick to my stomach."
Another Morgan Hill resident, Frank Ellis, said that the smoke was most noticeable in the morning.
"You get up first thing, and you really smell it and see the visible smoke," he said.
A total of 57 residences and 11 outbuildings have been destroyed in the fire, according to Cal Fire. Three other homes and two outbuildings have been damaged.
The blaze also killed a bulldozer operator working the fire line last week.
Fire officials warned that crews will likely be battling the wildfire raging in steep, forested ridges for another month, which has scared away tourists from the popular Big Sur area.
Big Sur establishments were already reporting as much as a 50 percent drop in business, said Stan Russell, executive director of the chamber of commerce. That's even though the only signs of the blaze were fire trucks and an occasional whiff of smoke along the famously winding and scenic Highway 1.
Normally, this time of year "is when everybody really runs at 100 percent," Russell said Friday about tourism in the area. "This is when we make our money."
Highway 1 remained open, but signs along the narrow route warned travelers that all state parks in the area were closed because of the fire.
Residents have been evacuated along Cachagua Road from Nason Road to Tassajara Road and along Tassajara Road from East Carmel Valley Road to the Tassajar Hot Springs Zen Center. The evacuation order includes all roads that extend from the above roads, Cal Fire said.
Road closures include Palo Colorado Road at Highway 1, Robinson Canyon Road south of Penon Peak Trail and Weston Ridge Road at Highway 1.

What About Me?
This story appears in the June 2000 issue of . Subscribe »
Small businesses today have access to more funds than ever, not to mention a wider array of financing resources. Venture capital firms invested a record $36 billion in 1999--more than double their 1998 investments--and are on track to exceed that figure this year.
Angel investors, fattened by lucrative undertakings over the past decade, are eager to share their wealth and expertise with fledgling entrepreneurs. More than $16 billion in SBA loan and venture capital programs helped launch or expand 50,000-plus businesses in 1999. And banks, finance companies, credit card issuers, leasing companies, factoring firms and a host of Net enterprises are tripping over one another to participate in the $170 billion small-business financing market.
But don't submit your loan application just yet. Despite the proliferation of financing sources, funding remains problematic for most start-ups. "If you're starting a new venture with only an idea, you'll probably have to start with only your money," says Charles Cocotas, the veteran entrepreneur who helped transform single-unit Boston Market into a national franchise chain. "Securing a loan or investors is easier once you have a successful track record. Otherwise, it's extremely difficult--unless you're a dotcom."
There's the rub. Dotcom: the obsession of virtually every investor. The nemesis of virtually every non-dotcom entrepreneur competing for funds. Indeed, PricewaterhouseCoopers estimates that of the $36 billion invested by VCs last year, nearly 90 percent went to high-tech companies; fully 56 percent went to Internet-related ventures. "Money going into non-high-tech companies declined for the first time in five years," reports Kirk Walden, national director of venture capital research for PricewaterhouseCoopers in Austin, Texas.
Of course, not all VCs are on the same page, adds Walden. "Some specialize in narrow segments, such as retailing or health care. They understand those brick-and-mortar businesses and know they won't realize returns of 100 percent a year, but they also know there's value and less risk in those investments."
Financing Alternatives
On the other hand, venture capital provides only 7 percent of funding for private companies, according to OffRoad Capital Corp. in San Francisco, an online financial services company. This means that the number-one source of money for start-ups is family and friends. But that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to financing options. You also have these alternatives:
Angels are individuals who seek out new businesses to mentor and invest in (usually $25,000 to $500,000) in return for equity ownership. Not as demanding as VC firms, angels nevertheless expect high returns (25 percent). They generally favor businesses with which they are familiar and that are located nearby. They're best found through friends and angel networks.
Banks offer the least expensive route (about 2 percent above prime), but they take the least risk. Consequently, bank loans are difficult to come by for start-ups that lack assets and/or profitable histories.
Commercial finance companies take on higher-risk loans than banks; therefore, they're good if your company is high-growth and will continually need its loan ceiling raised, if your credit history is spotty, or if your company has a high debt-to-worth ratio with a strong cash flow. Interest rates and fees are about 2 to 10 percent higher than banks.

Credit cards are used by nearly one-third of start-ups. If you carry a balance, using credit cards is an expensive alternative (12 to 21 percent in annual interest), but they're easy to get and use, and they ease the bookkeeping burden.
Factoring is a practice whereby you sell your receivables for a discount before they are due. Widely used in most industries, factoring is relatively expensive (10 to 20 percent), inasmuch as you are paying for the cost of the capital, the extra risk and the paperwork.
Lease financing works well if you need funds for business equipment. Finance companies, banks and many vendors will arrange lease financing.
A line of credit is a revolving bank account that allows you to draw funds against a given total established by your bank. These accounts are usually secured with accounts receivable and/or inventory as collateral.
Personal assets include savings, stocks, bonds, pension plans, life insurance policies and real estate. Many entrepreneurs who own homes secure equity loans and use the proceeds to start a business--in which case, technically, you are financing your business, not the bank. Keep in mind that you could forfeit your house if you default on the loan.
The SBA guarantees loans to small businesses made through authorized lenders. There is no set maximum or minimum, but funds typically range from $25,000 to $1 million. The money may not be used to pay off creditors, cash out investors or invest in real estate, among other restrictions.
|Find out more about the SBA and check out the article, SBA Loans From A To Z.
Venture capital firms invest in high-risk businesses with the potential for rapid growth and high returns in a short time. Typically, they expect to exit in three to seven years with annual returns of 25 to 40 percent or more.
Determining Your Best Option
Baby, I Got Yo Money
Unlike venture capital firms, banks are not influenced by astronomical profit potential when evaluating a borrower's credit worthiness. Their first consideration is risk aversion; their second is the borrower's ability to cover the principle and pay the interest. Consequently, banks prefer that business owners secure loans with hard assets--a home, equipment, real estate. Some will lend against a small business's receivables and inventory but at steep discounts. Furthermore, most banks are reluctant to make loans to a business if the owner is not heavily invested.
Alan Fellheimer, president of Pennsylvania Business Bank in Philadelphia, gives start-up loans to almost any type of business, but only if the owner also makes a substantial investment. He encourages start-ups to approach banks, particularly his bank. "Many think they won't qualify for a bank loan, but we often can work with entrepreneurs to structure a deal that makes sense. Maybe a combination of [the owner's] assets, help from friends or family, someone who will guarantee the loan. As long as it's not an SBA loan--they require too much paperwork."
Most entrepreneurs now take advantage of the SBA's Low Doc program, not only because it reduces paperwork to one page, but also because it cuts response time. The streamlined program expedites the review process on loans under $100,000, relying heavily on the strength of the borrower's character and credit history, according to Mike Stamler of the SBA. Start-ups must submit comprehensive business plans with Low Doc applications; existing businesses should, but need not. A variety of SBA loans--including the 7(a) Loan Guaranty Program, are available through banks, business development agencies and other lenders for conventional start-ups, new franchises and existing businesses.
turning to friends and family?
Check out Investor Next Door for the inside scoop.
Despite the popularity of government-backed loans, the overwhelming majority of start-up entrepreneurs rely on personal savings, residential mortgages, consumer and credit card loans, as well as money from people they know. When Greg Brophy started Shred-it Inc. in Mississauga, Ontario, in 1998, the then-26-year-old entrepreneur asked a dozen family members for money. "Most could only come up with four or five thousand each, but put together, it makes a difference," says Brophy, now 37. Still, it wasn't enough to get his shredding business ripping. Needing $125,000, Brophy refinanced his house and arranged equipment leasing.
If you decide to approach friends and family, Brophy warns, "recognize that it can be a double-edged sword: [you've got] low-cost financing but potential misunderstandings that could damage relationships and the business."
To reduce the likelihood of such problems, "keep it professional," advises Lori King, founder, president and CEO of private equity investment firm NVST.com Inc. in Bellevue, Washington. "Don't approach it as a 'trust me' situation just because it's family. Prepare a business plan, do all necessary research and present an honest picture of the risks and rewards."
No matter what you do, find a way to stand apart from the crowd when you approach investors. Do that, and you're bound to find the money you need--dotcom or not.

Business Plan Tips
Put It In Writing
A thoughtful, convincing business plan is key to any funding search, stress Dee Power and Brian Hill, coauthors of The Quest For Capital: A Financing Guide For Entrepreneurs (Javelina House, $26.95, www.capital-connection.com). Power and Hill offer the following tips for preparing a professional business plan:
Smaller bites are more digestible. Start with an outline. Break the large task into smaller components or sections and the task will not seem as daunting. A business plan can be viewed simply as the answers to a series of questions.
Competition counts. Every product and company has competitors. Systematically gather information on your competitors so that you can make a credible case for why your product or service will be better.
Marketing matters. Hone your market research and analysis skills. Define your customers and how you are going to reach them.
Keep it exciting. Put together a clear, concise, realistic business plan that gets the reader excited about the opportunity your company presents. The plan must cover not only what you are going to do, but also how you are going to do it.
Proof and proof again. Have experienced business-people read and critique your plan, testing it for clarity and reasonableness. Never send out a first draft. When you're certain it's perfect, proofread it again.

Cochinita (Brooklyn tacos)
Hey, you know how I love tacos? Oh you didn't know that? Well, I do. I love tacos. I love tacos so much that if I wasn't already married, I might marry tacos. And have little taco babies.
One time a few weeks ago I went to visit my sister, Dana, who lives in Brooklyn. We went out for lunch at this cute taco place near her apartment called Cochinita. When we asked the guy behind the counter (the owner, who's name I forgot) if anything was gluten free he said "Everything! Except some of the beers." I had beef and pork tacos, and horchata. Dana and I split the tortilla soup and it was good. No one complained when we lingered there for hours after we finished eating, everything was gluten free, and it was delicious and not terribly expensive. Check out their review in the NY Times tomorrow! Yay. Tacos for everyone!

Three brands of chicken jerky dog treats are said to be responsible for - a "mysterious illness in at least 600 dogs in the U.S." - producing a sometimes deadly canine illness, though the extent of its spread is unknown, state federal health officials in numerous media reports March 13. In turn, an MSNBC TV report Tuesday statedthat "federal health officials have turned to consumers to help investigating problems possibly tied to chicken jerky pet treats made in China." Also, a log of complaints collected from pet owners and veterinarians contains references to at least "three popular brands of jerky treats that may be associated with kidney failure and other serious ailments," according to internal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) documents obtained by msnbc.com. In turn, the FDA notes how the extent of the spread of this mystery dog illness is unknown.
Pet products sited and precautions
Also, of 22 "Priority 1" cases listed by the FDA late last year, 13 cited "Waggin' Train or Canyon Creek Ranch jerky treats or tenders, both produced by Nestle Purina PetCare Co., the records show," reported msnbc.com.
The symptoms of illness as noted at the FDA from the tainted products include; decreased appetite; decreased activity; vomiting; diarrhea, sometimes with blood; increased water consumption and/or increased urination.
Those with concerns or questions should take their dogs to a veterinarian, states the FDA's website; while noting if blood tests show increased urea nitrogen and creatinine levels it may well be a sign of kidney failure. If urine tests show increased glucose it may be a signal of other illness, stated the FDA.
Also, the FDA shares views on pet illnesses. For instance, it states that owners should look for "any sudden or unusual changes in the behavior pattern of your dog." In turn, experts say this will help you to understand that it is ill and requires medical attention.
Also, does your dog seem to be quiet, listless and depressed? Is your dog off its food? Does your dog seem disoriented? Has it been losing its balance while getting up or while walking? Has your dog been displaying any unwarranted or uncharacteristic aggression? The FDA states that if the answer is yes to any one of these, it could indicate any kind of physical, hormonal, and neurological disorder, and it is time to go visit the vet.
Dog treats a continuing problem
Moreover, msnbc.com noted how "another three listed Milo's Kitchen Home-style Dog Treats, produced by the Del Monte Corp. The rest listed single brands or no brand."
Since 2007, FDA scientists have analyzed jerky treats for evidence of dangerous toxins, including heavy metals, melamine, melamine analogs and diethylene glycol, chemicals used in plastics and resins.
According to the FDA and the Veterinary Laboratory Response Network (VLRN), experts are still actively working on finding an answer to this mystery illness in dogs. Also, the FDA in their warning does note the lack of definitive answers but also states that the treats should remain as treats and not be used as a meal replacement for pets.
FDA sets up priority cases to protect pets
The mystery illness in at least 600 dogs points to the FDA's methods for identifying safety and pet product recalls.
For instance, msnbc.com noted March 13 that "Priority 1 cases are those in which the animal is aged 11 or younger and medical records that document illness are available, an FDA spokeswoman said. In many cases, samples of the suspect treats also are collected. The report, obtained through a public records request, is the first agency indication of any brands linked to illnesses that have climbed since the FDA warned pet owners about jerky treats in November. That was the FDA's third caution about the pet products since 2007."
In turn, the owner of a healthy dog named "Sam" said during a March 13 Huliq interview that he would "never give Sam anything but 'natural' treats;" while point to a new trend with pet owners to either buy local organic pet treats or to make the treats themselves.
Manufactures say treats safe
The MSNBC TV report also noted that "Nestle Purina and Del Monte officials said their treats are safe and FDA regulators said repeated tests have shown no absolute tie to any brand or manufacturer."
"No specific products have been recalled because a definitive cause has not been determined," FDA officials said in a statement featured on the msnbc.com website; while also pointing to an "internal FDA report" that prompted this investigation in the dog illness.
This internal report - overseen by the FDA's Coordinated Outbreak and Response Evaluation, or CORE, group – "is one of several ongoing assignments in which FDA regulators are seeking jerky treat samples and medical records of dogs that may have developed kidney failure, liver disease or Fanconi syndrome, which can lead to serious illness and death. The recent complaints were filed from October through December by people in cities from California to New York, but the agency will continue to accept them," added the msnbc.com report.
"We still invite owners and veterinarians to submit complaints and samples," said Siobhan DeLancey, an FDA spokeswoman. "The more information we have, the more likely we can find a link."
MSNBC stated "the move comes as the FDA is under growing pressure from consumers and lawmakers to address rising numbers of illnesses blamed on the China-made treats."
For instance, before the warning was issued in November, "the agency had logged 70 reports of illnesses tied to the treats last year. Since then, more than 530 additional complaints of illnesses and some deaths have been filed," officials said.
Dogs that've died due to the treats
"Bella, a 2-year-old pug, died last fall after her owner, Robin Pierre, said she ate Waggin' Trail chicken jerky treats," reported MSNBC during a March 13 TV report; while also noting how "consumers who say their dogs were sickened or killed have launched at least three petitions demanding recalls of jerky pet treats made in China, including one begun in December that has more than 3,400 signatures from the U.S. and around the world."
In turn, people have come out against pet products being made in China.
Pet owners worry about China pet treats
"At the slightest doubt, these products should have been recalled, especially knowing there was a link or at the very least a caution/warning label put on the packaging warning the consumers," said Robin Pierre, a co-founder of "Animal Parents Against Pet Treats Made in China."
Pierre, 49, of Pine Bush, N.Y., believes Waggin' Train chicken jerky treats were responsible for the sudden death last fall of her previously health 2-year-old pug, Bella, who developed kidney failure, added the msnbc.com report.
"The last week of her life was nothing but misery and pain, separated from her family, she died all alone, in a cage, despite the fact that she had a family who loved her," Pierre wrote in an email to msnbc.com. "She meant the world to me and my family."
Dogs dying due to suspected treats
Moreover, a 14-year-old family dog named Ginger "sparked one of three petitions after she developed kidney failure possibly tied to chicken jerky pet treats. Her owner, Susan Rhodes, 51, of Port St. Lucie, Fla., wants the treats pulled from the market."
More than 375 people have signed a petition launched last week by Susan Rhodes, 51, of Port St. Lucie, Fla. She believes her 14-year-old dog, Ginger, may have developed life-threatening kidney failure after eating chicken jerky treats. She was stunned to hear that consumer complaints alone can't force the FDA - or a company - to recall potentially tainted products.
"That is just unreal. I am not happy with that," Rhodes said.
For their part, FDA officials said the companies are free to enact a voluntary recall at any time.
Since 2007, MSNBC noted how "FDA scientists have analyzed jerky treats for evidence of dangerous toxins, including heavy metals, melamine, melamine analogs and diethylene glycol, chemicals used in plastics and resins."
Nestle says its pet treats safe
So far, they've found nothing convincing, a point emphasized by Keith Schopp, director of communications for Nestle Purina. He noted that FDA officials also suggest that illnesses may be a result of causes other than eating jerky treats."
At the same time, Schoop told MSNBC TV that: "Our chicken jerky treats are safe to feed as directed. The safety of our products - and the pets who consume them - are our top priorities."
The company has a comprehensive food safety program in place, he said, including at manufacturing plants in China.
In turn, Pierre - who lost her dog - said she has little faith in pet food manufacturers - or in the FDA.
"Actions speak louder than words and there has been no action from them up until now," Pierre said. "Waggin' Train has hid behind the technicality that the FDA cannot find the link and the FDA has let them."
Consumers can report illnesses to the FDA's pet food complaint site at http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/SafetyHealth/ReportaProblem/ucm182403.htm

Batista -- Ex-WWE Champ BOOKS 1st MMA Fight
Batista Ex-WWE Champ BOOKS 1st MMA Fight
It's been A LONG time in the making ... but former WWE heavyweight champion Batista has FINALLY booked his first real deal MMA fight ... TMZ has learned.
Batista has been training to get in the ring for years ... and got REALLY close to fighting in the Strikeforce league back in 2010 -- but the deal fell apart.
But now it's on for real -- the 43-year-old powerhouse signed with the CES MMA league -- and is all set up to fight on October 6 at the Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island.
We're told Batista -- 6'6" and 290 lbs -- will square up against some dude named Rashid Evans ... not to be confused with UFC hurt-maker Rashad Evans.
Sources connected to the deal tell us ... the fight WILL be televised ... but it's unclear which provider will broadcast the fight.
Waiting for your permission to load the comments.

- https://forum.samygo.tv/viewtopic.php?t=2165 (describes an approach viable when TDM allows memory write)
- write to a hex memory address (can't find physical memory write, only register write) to patch in-memory kernel
- re-encrypt a firmware update with patched kernel (need AES key for this) and install it via USB
- exploit a SIGSEGV from the TDM (there are many, but hard to impossible to use as a vector)
- exploit some buffer overflow with specially crafted media to play from USB (might not be a good vector if memory protections are in place)
